How does this build sound? Forged 402 for Siilverado.
I'm fairly new to performance engine building. I rebuilt the Vortec for my Blazer last year and that went great. Now I am swapping my 4.8l out for the 402 that I am in the process of building. Just hoping to get a few ideas and make sure I am going in the right direction with everything. Goal is to make at least 700whp once I turbo it, hence the built internals. I'm also trying to retain the everyday driveability and hauling capabilities of the truck, it'll see the track a few times a year just for fun and racing buddies.
I'm keeping it somewhat stock for the most part...
I had the LQ4 block baked and honed and checked out
Forged stroker crank
CNC connecting rods
Wiseco pistons
~9.4 compression
ARP head studs and rod bolts
317 heads
truck intake
4l80e slightly built
The cam and injectors are TBD. I could use some help on that for sure.
I'm planning to have the engine and transmission in in the next few months for summer and drive it. Then, start collecting parts for the turbo next year. I'd like to build the engine once and not have to go back into it for the turbo.
How's this sound? Am I missing anything important?
Here's a quick shot of what I've got so far.

Which would you choose out of these two and why?
